A YOUNG lady at I,eavenworth had

A YOUNG lady at Leavenworth had a
peculiar experience a few days since.
Twenty-eight years ago Jim" Brown,
the temperance apostle, buried little
son in Pilot Knob cemetery. The GEM
0tery has been deserted for years and
of late stone quarry has been opened
into it, making it necessary to remove
many of the bodies. On last Tuesday
Mr.. Brown had the body of his son
raised, and, owing to the fact that it
had been inferred in a metallic case, it
was found to be almost as perfect as
when laid away SO long ago. Miss Hat
tie Brown, a beautiful and accom-
plished young lady of twenty-one or
twenty-five years of age, was thus en-
abled to look upon the features of the
little brother who died years beforeshe
was born,

A COMMITTEE of the Georgia Iegis-

facts that are pronounced ''damnable, p
even in Georgia. In that state all con-

discovered by the committee is Gre

IT looks very much as if General ID.
r. Grier will be the next commander
in-chief of the grand army of the re-
public. Congressman Warner, of
Kansas City, will not be a candidate,
and this leaves only General Grier and
General Slocum, of New York, in the
field. The veterans don't want
Slocum. His attitude in the F'itZ John
Porter trial was displeasing to them
and has not been forgotten. He has
determined opposition even in his own
state. Aside from all this there is a
feeling that the Office should go to the
south this time. General Grier has the
support of all Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
assured. AS a matter of course he has
most of the western states.-Capital.
We are not aware as to how well
posted on G. A. r. affairs the Capital
is, but we will venture to predict that
there will be some pretty lively protests
ere Gen. Grier is selected for com
mander-in-chief. His indecison in the
matter of inviting Cleveland to st.
Louis will be remembered about that
time, together with the fact that not
until futile shouted did he fall into
line

AN exchange thus cautions it readers
against certain danger: Take care how
you let any machine oil or lubricator
come in contact with cut or scratch
on your hand or arm, as serious blood
poisoning may result. In the manufac-
ture of some of these machine oils, fat
from diseased and decomposed animals
is used. All physicians know how pois-
OnOus such matter is. The only safe
guard is not to let any spot where the
skin is broken be touched by any ma
chine oil or lubricator.

THE people of Pennsylvania are soon
to pass upon the method of prohibition
as means of regulating the liquor
traffic. A proposed amendment to the
constitution is to be voted upon which
prohibits manufacture, sale, or keeping
for sale of Intoxicating liquor, to be
used as a beverage, and makes the
same misdemeanor to be punishable
as may be provided by law. The
amendment, however, provides that
the manufacture, sale, or keeping for
sale of liquor, to be used for other
purposes than as a beverage, may be
allowed under regulations to be pre-
scribed by the legislature. Just what
are the prospects for the adoption of
this amendment it is too soon to
conjecture, though they are not looked
on as favorable. Judging from a re-
cent judicial Interpretation of the word
beverage" in New York, however, the
amendment is not free from ambiguity,
and might be held to permit many
sales of liquor which thorough going
prohibitiOnists cannot be expected to
approve. 1t was held by the General
Term of the New York Supreme Court,
as will be remembered, that liquor sup
piled with meals is not supplied las a
beverage

Dispatch. It was while connected with
that paper that he made his reputation
as journalist by killing Col. Slayback,
who wildly rushed into the Office to
learn ''who writ that article" Many

Traveller.
That the last remark is uncaIled fer
was evidenced by the fact that Col.
Slaybaek's relatives did not push the
prosecution very hard and Cockren
was cleared on the plea of self-defense.
The writer of this happened to be in
the Office of the Dispatch at the
time of the killing, and none there
present but agreed that it was a case
of kill or get killed, as Slayback, an ex-
confederate colonel, of a well-known
sanguinary nature, came into the edi-
torial sanctum armed, and Cockrell on
ly saved his own life by having his pis-
tol handy on his desk, having been
warned previously that Slayback in
tended to kill him.

THERE is a city of monuments and

duce another squabble. Some st.
Louisans are going to hang out pOr-
traits of Cleveland along the line of
march and the marchers are expected
to feel bad enough to march around
the blocks. Good taste would dictate
that unto Caesar should be rendered
the things that are Caesars. While
the Grand Army is in st. Louis, though
it may have shown its ears in the
Cleveland affair, it should be treated
courteously. Democrats do not have

tect their party leader.-K. G. Times.

Hartford man named Thomas Connorton,
for breach of the peace on Annie Jordan,
who is employed at the Stafford dining
rooms. His arrest was effected by descrip-
ton of him given Officer Hyde. On We'd
nesday night about o'clock, as Mrs Jordan
left the dining room to 60 home, she was &C.
costed by Connorton, whom che had known
in Hartford. He said he wanted some mon
ey, and finally made such threats that, be-
coming scared, she gave him all she had,
eighty-6ve cents. He then told ner that he
would call at the place where she was employ
ed yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, and
that he wanted more money, making threats
at the same time. She told Officer George
Hyde yesterday morning and gave him a de-
scription of the fellow. The officer kept a
strict lookout from the corner of State and
Chapel streets. At three o'clock he saw a
man standing in front of Simpson block, q
stranger, and corresponding to the descrip-
ton of the man he wanted. Officer Hyde
aceosted him, and after few minutes talk
the man said his name was Connorton, and
that he was from Hartford. He was imme-
diately arrested and taken to the police Of
